You've never seen the first one? I'd really recommend checking it out. It's far superior to the others IMO.

I saw The Shawshank Redemption the other night:

Spoiler Alert:

It was the 1st time I've seen it since it was in the theaters. I really felt for Andy: He had to deal with so much as an innocent man, but I was so happy that in the end he got his revenge not only on Warden Norton, but Hadley as well for giving him a really hard time when he first arrived in that Maine prison. I liked Red alot too: Him and Andy were the epitome of the word "friendship." The ending was so sweet when Andy left Red the funds to meet him in that seaside town in Mexico. I shed some tears.

Shawshank is one of my favorite movies of all time. Always makes me cry, despite the fact it is a rather happy ending... but ****, all the stuff those guys go through, y'know?... Red was my favorite character in the movie. Red is ****ing awesome. He's achieved redemption and he's still a wise-crackin' bad ass. Reminds me of my grandfather, a recovering-alcoholic (30some years now) with a razor-sharp tongue ha.

apparently shawshank flopped in theatres (allow the UK spelling) on release but found it's success on home video like so many 'classics'... erm only Blade Runner springs to mind at the mo. Shawshank was always a bit high on melodrama for me, chick flick?

I wouldn't really call Shawshank a chick flick...

Molecules · 09-16-2008, 09:26 PM

yeah too far... i always laugh when the fat guy gets beaten up. plus William Sadler is in it (Tales of the Crypt)

I never understood these prison break/POW movies where the imprisoned escape by digging tunnels and disposing of the soil and concrete during daily exercises, presumably kept in little pouches in their trousers. You wonder how many of the real-life cases actually made it. I think the Birdman of Alcatraz died, but Clint Eastwood made it okay.

Didn't King say Shawshank was based on a real guy's story? In Maine?
